Eastern grey kangaroo |
The eastern grey kangaroo, Macropus giganteus (family Macropodidae), is common in central Cape York Peninsula woodlands. There are other kangaroos but this is the most common. The eastern grey is a source of meat but Aboriginal people generally prefer to hunt the agile wallaby, Macropus agilis. |
